Yes, that may be the problem. Later version of patch have unified mode.
Unidiff is a very popular mode
in the FreeBSD community, that is the only reason I know about it :)

Your version of patch probably doesn't recognize the unidiff mode, and is
trying to patch as either context
or normal. May want to see about getting a later version of patch slapped on
that box :)
